Rust haters are just a hilarious species. It's like they are paid Russian trolls blowing everything out of proportion, making nonsensical arguments, and always whining about one thing or another.

I can't tell if these are real people or just bot and sock puppet accounts operated by suckless.

Rust is fine, but rewriting GPL software under a weaker license is not.
